I am trying to add a path to be searched by include. It all works fine
if I use -I <pathname> in the command line, when calling make. But I
want to have this inside the makefile. I read in the make manual and in
the arcive of help-make that I can change the options or flags inside make:
from make manual:
You can also set |MAKEFLAGS| in a makefile, to specify additional flags
that should also be in effect for that makefile.
Now I tried a lot but I just won't work.
Can someone please give me a makefile line that does it.
I've done things like this in the past:
MAKEFLAGS = \
--keep-going \
--no-builtin-variables \
--no-builtin-rules \
--include-dir=$(src_dir) \
Now I specify the location of submakefiles--here's my rationale:
# Included makefiles are cited by absolute pathname, e.g.
# include $(src_dir)/included-file
# $(src_dir)/included-file:: ;
# An '--include-dir' option could make an absolute path unnecessary
# in the 'include' statement itself, but the empty remake command
# would not respect '--include-dir'.
include $(src_dir)/configuration.make
$(src_dir)/configuration.make:: ;
Where do I have
to place it? Can it be right befoe the include line?
I haven't experimented with this--I always just put MAKEFLAGS
at the top of the makefile so it's obvious that I'm overriding
normal behavior.
Can I give only the name of a subdirectory like in -I on the command
line and without any ./ or / before and after?
What are you trying that doesn't work?
